More trees need to be planted in some areas of town. The Flower St. sidewalk project has been the downfall of several trees on the street, which had to be cut down to allow the walkway to be built, Commissioner Phyllis Purnell said. The community will hold a tree planting later this year to replace some of the lost trees.

The commission also discussed minor changes to the site plan ordinance and the planned unit development ordinance. Cosby urged Bourcier to not worry too much about the ordinances and instead to get on with the new Comprehensive Plan.
